You may be a fan of Chanel or Nina Ricci fragrances, but before you choose the brand of your next perfume, make sure you pick the type of fragrance that will suit your personality. Here are some indications on the right way to choose your signature scent.
If you have a romantic personality: floral
The obvious answer is that if you are a romantic, you should choose a floral fragrance that reflects your soft side. This is the most varied group since there is a wide variety of blooms used like roses, jasmine, lilies, gardenia and orange blossom. The floral scents could be powdery or sweet depending on the combinations. Try Yves Saint Laurent Paris, Tommy Girl and Cacharel Anaïs Anaïs, or more soft florals like Chanel No. 19 and Estée Lauder White Linen.
If you are an outdoorsy or energetic person: fresh
The most suited scent for the energetic and lively personalities are the fresh and sharp fragrances with citrus notes like lemon, grapefruit and orange or other acidic aromas. If this is you, you should get Calvin Klein CK one, Ô de Lancôme, Azzaro Chrome or Acqua di Parma Colonia.
If you are adventurous and bold: oriental
Much like your personality, oriental scents are spicy and bold with a hint of sensuality. You will find that most oriental fragrances contain amber and vanilla aromas and sometimes cinnamon and jasmine. Choose soft oriental fragrances like Chanel Coco, Yves Saint Laurent Opium and Cacharel Loulou or try more bold Orientals like Calvin Klein Obsession, Guerlain Shalimar and Guerlain Habit Rouge.
If you are down to earth or the girl-next-door type: woody
You are not exactly a shy person but the woody scents can help bring out your sensual side. Using sandalwood and patchouli aromas usually, this family of perfumes contains an oaky and musky base with a citrus top note and a floral middle. You can go for woody with oriental notes like Coco Mademoiselle, Prada by Prada and Guerlain Samsara or mossier woods like Gucci Rush, Guerlain Mitsouko and Narciso Rodriguez For Her.
